New Atlas Live: Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim, US Meddling, and China

Malaysia's new prime minister Anwar Ibrahim is the product of decades of US government backing, both himself a regular associate of Washington's regime change front, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and part of a wider US NED-funded network. Is Malaysia about to embark on self-destruction like so many other US proxies, or will this be the first time in US history that a proxy does not serve Washington at the expense of his own nation?
